I have noticed that if I start FF in Safe mode it works just right, but not in the normal mode, I have disabled all Add-on, Plugin-in, reset FF and even uninstalled and re-installed it but to no avail.
</p><p>How can I debug from Safe mode to figure out the cause of the issue?

</p>Text will only get cut off if you specify the height of the container or position elements absolutel2013-01-19T22:51:51-08:00cor-elhttps://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/947687#answer-399742<p>Text will only get cut off if you specify the height of the container or position elements absolutely and that is usually not a good idea.<br>
It is always best to let the browser manage the height to avoid such issues in case the visitor wants to use a different font family or font size.<br>
It also looks that the text in Firefox is bolder or another font is used.
</p><p>You can use this extension to see which fonts are used for text that is selected (right-click context menu: Show fonts in selection).

<p>As this is a local page it is not possible to check what is happening in this case.<br>
You can use the build-in inspector to see which rules are applied to the text.
</p><p>Current Firefox versions have a lot of web developer tools build-in.
